Penn state is not responsible as they didnt make sandusky do these horrible acts!!!

In the name of higher standards which Penn State expects from its students, it should take responsibility and do the right thing.

To me its like Penn State didn't pay attention in class and they FAILED !  there are consequences to failing and Penn State should not be an exception

I think every individual should be held accountable in this scandal.

I really think the Penn State Case is an example of the downfalls of our modern bureaucratic system.  Issues get lost in these machines and they have taken the place of our personal moral obligations.  Mike McQuery probably thinks he did the right thing.  He reported to who was above him and he had no further obligation because that was how the system functioned.  Joe Paterno did what he thought he was obligated to do, report to who was above him.  That was the way the machine ran efficiently.  Nobody ever questions our modern day bureaucratic machines.  Until there is a hiccup.  What if the person at the top does nothing or even worse, does something horrible?  Each individual had moral obligations to report to the police or even stop events while they saw it happening.

Unfortunately, there are far worse examples of this.  The book "Modernity and the Holocaust." discusses the most efficient bureaucracy in history and the most devastating.  Why did nobody stop horrendous acts and why didn't anybody feel guilty?  Because they became apart of a machine that operated under orders and behind paperwork.  It seems far fetched at first but it's interesting what people do, or what they DONT do, when they can hide behind the chain of command.

And that's what I believe happened at Penn State.
